'L2: Empuraan' is the second installment in a planned trilogy and follows the success of Lucifer (2019).

Meanwhile, the trailer for the Mohanlal starrer was released earlier this month.

As per the trailer, the second part of the film delves into a socio-political drama, with Mohanlal's character at the center. Packed with intensity, the video is a cinematic spectacle, with Mohanlal commanding a larger-than-life screen presence as Khureshi-Ab'raam. Apart from Mohanlal, the film also stars Tovino Thomas, Abhimanyu Singh, Indrajith Sukumaran, and Manju Warrier, among others.

Notably, 'L2: Empuraan' will become the first-ever Malayalam film to be released in IMAX. Apart from Malayalam, the film will also be released in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu.
